A regular weekly contributor to the show up until last year, Gerry Brownlee is finishing his first full year as Speaker of the House.
Brownlee joined John MacDonald to reflect on his year amid the continuing drama in Parliament.
He says has been a very democratic year in the chamber.
When elected to the position this time last year, Brownlee said it was his job to protect MPs rights to speak freely.
He says he feels he's done this job well, ensuring debate in the house was well facilitated.
Brownlee says he's been particularly liberal in allowing MPs to express themselves –particularly in a parliament where there is a balanced opposition and Government.
